Rob's life journey began in Adelaide growing up in an academic and musical family. He studied Agricultural Science and ended up in the Northern Territory in the mid 1960’s working for the NT Government Department of Primary Industries at a research farm at Tortilla Flats, an hour or two South of Darwin.
Whilst growing rice and working with buffaloes, Rob soon became involved in activism, in particular the Free East Timor movement. A cause that has seen him organising rallies and conferences in Darwin, supporting and saving refugees and organising boat loads of food and aid to East Timor.
Now heading into his eighties, Rob has spent a lifetime of activism and a love of agricultural science. He is not afraid to call a spade a spade and does not suffer fools gladly.
This is an epic story that only Rob Wesley Smith can tell.
